HI! I am a Marriage and Family Therapist, singer/songwriter, and Pure Barre Teacher. My approach to therapy targets the mind, body, and soul as one. Helping you find balance throughout the chaos of life. Have you ever felt unsafe within your own mind? Experienced self-doubt, and ruminating thoughts? All of these feelings can cause individuals to feel overwhelming emotions, and leave you feeling stuck. In our work together, we will focus on developing skills that will teach you how to regain control of your emotions. This will allow you to find a deeper sense of self understanding and an empowered sense of self.

Look no further if you’ve been looking for a therapist to help you get to the bottom of age-old, cyclical problems. Refreshingly honest and willing to walk alongside you to help you access the best version of yourself; I’m here for it. My integrative approach uses cognitive behavioral therapy, family systems and mindfulness -based practices.

I believe the dance of effort and ease is at the heart of our journey to health and wellness. Our individual paths are both deeply personal and nourished in connection with others. Therapy can be the safe container we need to begin building a secure relationship with ourselves, as well as a space to practice sensing into places that may may feel overwhelming to venture alone.

My clientele consists of children, adolescents, and adults. I use a variety of approaches in working with my clients in an attempt to find the most efficacious approach to meet the particular client's needs. As a psychologist, I also perform psychological evaluations for diagnostic purposes. For example, I evaluate cognitive ability, learning disorders, ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, and many other issues. Finding oneself can be a daunting task in our complex society. I aspire to help my clients achieve self understanding, a sense of efficacy, and develop tools to assist them in navigating life's challenges on their own.

Are you exhausted by racing thoughts? Are you longing for space to process your emotions and thoughts without fear of judgment? Are nervous and on edge, but you don't know why? I work with individuals and groups experiencing anxiety, depression, family concerns, maternal mental health challenges, parenting challenges, grief and loss, trauma, relationship challenges, existential concerns, and life transitions.

I feel truly honored to work with children, adolescents, and young adults during times of struggle, change, and growth. I strive to create a safe space for each client to grow, heal, and reach their therapeutic goals. I have experience working with various challenges including depression, anxiety, Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, school issues and other behavioral challenges. I utilize a relational, strengths-based approach when collaborating with clients, while incorporating evidenced based practices such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness practices, and play-based interventions.

I’m passionate about working with adults, teens, and couples who have experienced trauma, depression, life transitions, compulsive sexuality, and men’s issues. Through my training and experience, I use EMDR, Brainspotting, part’s work, mindfulness , attachment work, and other evidence based approaches in my practice. Each approach is used to process difficult experiences and develop skills to handle life’s challenges and live authentically.

What's standing in the way of you finding your best path? I believe you have everything you need to reach your full potential, sometimes it’s just hard knowing where to start. Let me help you sort though everything and get back on track. People seek counseling for a variety of reasons. Whatever the reason that brings you through the door, I commit to walking with you throughout the healing process to achieve inner growth and peace. I believe that therapy should be individualized for each client. After an initial intake appointment, counseling services will be formulated to meet your specific needs.

I wish to challenge certain stereotypes around mental health and invite anyone, regardless of their race and/or gender to reach out for psychological services if needed. I work with clients demonstrating a range of mental health concerns, including: anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, mood and personality disorders, life transitions and stress. My preference of clients is not limited to their race, gender, religion, or sexual orientation, but their devotion to their own mental well being.

I am a psychotherapist at Music City Psych. I'm passionate about helping people heal themselves, bring joy into their lives, reach their goals and improve their relationships. I specialize in working with folks with anxiety, depression, bi-polar disorders, ADHD, OCD, self-esteem issues, relationship issues, women's and body-image issues, in addition to those working through challenging life transitions. My clients want a safe space to explore their wants and needs, and to experience positive changes in life from their therapy experience. Whatever your best life is, I am here to help you find a way to live it.

I believe that we all deserve support and at the core of personal transformation is a duality of self-compassion and desire for change. As humans we are intrinsically wired for connection, resiliency and healing. However, sometimes there are things from the past or other life stressors that cause us to feel stuck and that healing is out of our reach. I am deeply interested in the mind-body connection and believe reconnecting to our bodies can be incredibly transformational. I work with folks in adolescence and adulthood who are desiring to address trauma, optimal performance, depression, anxiety and life transitions.

Sometimes difficult thoughts, feelings, and experiences take us away from the life we want to live. It may not seem clear how therapy can help. I provide a non-judgmental and secure space where, together, we can clarify your goals and develop a treatment plan. My approach to therapy is grounded in evidence-based clinical practices. Combining behavioral and mindfulness -based modalities, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Exposure and Response Prevention, I help clients develop insight and take action in order to live engaged, meaningful lives.

My goal as a therapist is to create a safe, trusting, and collaborative environment for clients to work through difficult experiences and achieve growth. I honor the uniqueness of each of my clients and provide a space in which they can explore how their past experiences may be impacting their current relationships, thought patterns, and view of themselves. Whether you are dealing with a traumatic experience, anxiety, disordered eating, or are just feeling “stuck,” together we will work to enhance your ability to cope, so that you can achieve a more balanced and fulfilled life.

My clients are often those struggling with anxiety, self-worth, and life transitions/adjustments. I also have particular specialities and experience with grief, substance addictions or those who are the loved one of a person with addictions, and trauma. When you read the word "trauma" it doesn't have to mean only abuse, car accidents, etc. There are various stressful life experiences that register as trauma, such as divorce, neglect/abandonment, health related issues and diagnoses, miscarriages, and many more. All that is needed from you is a desire to be present in the counseling space. The rest we walk through together.
